Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of this study is to compare the tolerability and acceptability of a formulation containing Hypertonic saline 7% (HS) alone and a formulation containing HS and Hyaluronic acid 0.1% in a population of Cystic Fibrosis (CF) patients who already showed poor tolerance to HS.
